Solved When I plug in the 1050TI the SDDM won't start, stuck at TTY

[kriptomahsun]

I've done these:

sudo pkg install nvidia-driver
sudo sysrc kld_list+=nvidia-modeset

I do see the GPU as active when I do nvidia-smi. But I can only login in TTY. No SDDM will start.

I can only login in TTY. No SDDM will start.

x11/nvidia-driver requires a xorg driver configuration file, see handbook 5.4.3. Video Cards

To configure the NVIDIA® driver in a configuration file:

Example 3. Select NVIDIA® Video Driver in a File

/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver     "nvidia"
EndSection

Just curious, does FreeBSD have nouveau driver like in Linux?

No, it doesn't. The reason you need to create a xorg.conf file is because Xorg tries to find nouveau driver which is non-existent on FreeBSD, as T-Aoki said below.

If using nvidia GPU without any of graphics/nvidia-drm-[510|515|61|66]-kmod, /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf in example 3 of Chapter 5.4.3 in the handbook, which anyway does not exist by default) is needed as xorg doesn't know how to configure it and attempts to use non-existent (on FreeBSD) nouveau driver, thus, fail.
